This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the Pupil Level Annual School Census collected by the Welsh Government. The data tells us where pupils lived at the time of the last Pupil Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The areas from which pupils are admitted to a school can change from year to year to reflect the number of siblings and pupils admitted under high priority admissions criteria.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

The headteacher has high expectations of staff and pupils and leads by example. Leaders have a clear vision that is shared by staff, pupils and governors that focusses on the wellbeing and progress of all pupils. Staff foster a nurturing, inclusive environment where all pupils feel safe and valued. They maintain strong relationships with pupils and their families, ensuring a supportive community that contributes successfully to pupils' confidence and eagerness to learn. Most pupils make good progress from their individual starting points, including those pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) and pupils living in poverty. Most pupils are respectful, behave well, show enjoyment in their learning and attend school regularly and on time. They know how to keep themselves safe and healthy, and nearly all benefit from the effective learning support they receive. The school has developed a curriculum that engages pupils and provides a range of meaningful learning experiences. Teaching moves at a good pace and offers appropriate challenge for most pupils. Within the classroom environment, the staff create a warm and friendly environment where most pupils engage well in their activities and complete them successfully. Teachers provide effective systematic support for the development of pupils’ reading, number, digital and spoken Welsh skills. However, opportunities for pupils to choose how and what they learn are limited. Governors are well informed about the school’s strengths and areas for development and offer suitable challenge. Across the school, there is a culture of improving teaching and learning. Senior leaders work effectively to promote this culture and to provide professional learning for all staff which links appropriately to school improvement priorities and has a positive impact on pupil progress and well-being.
